-Seems like there should be a page for you to post your thoughts about
-ikiwiki, both pro and con, anything that didn't work, ideas, or whatever.
-Do so here..

-Note that for more formal bug reports or todo items, you can also edit the
-[[bugs]] and [[todo]] pages.

-# Excellent - how do I translate a TWiki site?
-
-I just diskovered ikiwiki quite by chance, I was looking for a console/terminal
-menu system and found pdmenu. So pdmenu brought me to here and I've found ikiwik!
-It looks as if it's just what I've been wanting for a long time. I wanted something
-to create mostly text web pages which, as far as possible, have source which is human
-readable or at least in a standard format. ikiwiki does this twice over by using
-markdown for the source and producing static HTML from it.
-
-I'm currently using TWiki and have a fair number of pages in that format, does
-anyone have any bright ideas for translating? I can knock up awk scripts fairly
-easily, perl is possible (but I'm not strong in perl).

-# OpenID
-
-I just figured I'd edit something on the page with my OpenID, since you've implemented it! --*[Kyle](http://kitenet.net/~kyle/)*=
-
-> Kyle, If you like openid, I can switch your personal wiki over to use your openid. --[[Joey]]

-# ACL
-
-How about adding ACL? So that you can control which users are allowed
-to read, write certain pages. The moinmoin wiki has that, and it is
-something, that I think is very valuable.
-
-> ikiwiki currently has only the most rudimentary access controls: pages
-> can be locked, or unlocked and only the admin can edit locked pages. That
-> could certianly be expanded on, although it's not an area that I have an
-> overwhelming desire to work on myself right now. Patches appreciated and
-> I'll be happy to point you in the right directions.. --[[Joey]]
-
->> I'm really curious how you'd suggest implementing ACLs on reading a page.

->>> unless perhaps you decided to use http basic authentication and the
->>> httpauth plugin for ikiwiki that integrates with that.. [[--Joey]]
-
->>>> Which would rule out openid, or other fun forms of auth. And routing all access

-Some questions about the RecentChanges function. -- Ethan
-
-> (Moved to [[todo/recentchanges]] --[[Joey]])
-
-----
-
-Also, I'd like to request another template parameter which is just
-$config{url}. That way you won't have to hard-code the URL of the wiki into
-the template. -- Ethan
-
-> That's already available in the BASEURL parameter. --[[Joey]]

-# Canonical feed location?
-
-Any way to use `inline` but point the feed links to a different feed on the
-same site? I have news in news/*, a news archive in news.mdwn, and the
-first few news items on index.mdwn, but I don't really want two separate
-feeds, one with all news and one with the latest few articles; I'd rather
-point the RSS feed links of both to the same feed. (Which one, the one
-with all news or the one with the latest news only, I don't know yet.)
-
-> Not currently. It could be implemented, or you could just turn off the
-> rss feed for the index page, and manually put in a wikilink to the news
-> page and rss feed. --[[Joey]]
-
->> That wouldn't use the same style for the RSS and Atom links, and it
->> wouldn't embed the feed link into `<head>` so that browsers can automatically
->> find it.
